Re: My new (to me) Wild M10 & Leica Rotterman Contrast base

I received the filter holder today. It fits perfectly. However, it doesn't have the filter slide/holder. LeicaWildM10-FilterHousing.jpg I also bought a newer version of the filter holder for the Leica M Series of microscopes. The Ebay seller said it will also fit the M10 and it comes with the filter...

Re: My new (to me) Wild M10 & Leica Rotterman Contrast base

Hello, Thanks for finding the filter holder. I ordered it right away. I didn't want to lose it. It should work on my M10. If not, it will work on my M8 for sure. Now all I need is the proper filters or filter media/sheets. Can anyone recommend a source? I'm thinking a 1/4 lambda or lambda. I think t...

Re: My new (to me) Wild M10 & Leica Rotterman Contrast base

I saw a photo of a filter holder on the M10 in the M10 manual and I thought that was what you had. See the attached photo from the manual.

Re: My new (to me) Wild M10 & Leica Rotterman Contrast base

Congratulations on your M10! It took me years to find my first M10 so I know the feeling. You have a nice setup. It's nice to know someone who could do some custom machining to make your adapters. You mentioned that you have a "Wild/Leica filter slider unit for stereos". Do you have a part number fo...

FOUND: Leica 10446300 Adapter Ring Needed

I found an equivalent set of Leica adapters (10450552 and 10450308) that works and no longer need the 10446300 adapter.

Re: Looking for Leica Wild M10 user/service manual

I'm sorry for the very late reply.

No. It's better to have more light transmittance. I would chose the 404891 over the 180570.

Do a search on EBay now and you will find three 404891s.

Good luck!

Leica 10446300 Adapter Ring Needed

I recently purchased a Leica Near Vertical illuminator (part # 10445198) for my Leica Wild M10 stereo microscope. In order to get this illuminator to thread on to my M10, I need a Leica 10446393 adapter ring and a Leica 10446300 adapter ring. I was able to purchase the 10446393 adapter but I have no...

Need Focus Drive for Wild Heerbrugg M8 Stereo Microscope

I have a Wild Heerbrugg M8 stereo microscope with a stripped rack and pinion gear in the focus drive. I can no longer raise and lower the microscope. It just slips down. I have been unable to find a focus drive for it or replacement rack and pinion gear. Does anyone have a spare focus drive for an M...

Re: Looking for Leica Wild M10 user/service manual

It's a solid microscope! High quality. Thanks for your manual and brochure. I would recommend the Leica\Wild Heerbrugg phototubes: 404891 and 180570. I own both of these. The 404891 has better light transmittance in the photo mode. The 180570 loses 50% light transmittance in photo mode but the loss ...

How Do I Set the Zoom Magnification Range on a Leica Wild M10 Stereo Microscope?

I was very lucky to find a Leica Wild M10 stereo zoom microscope on EBay for home use after looking for almost a year. I'm having a problem setting the range of zoom magnification settings. There is a window next to both zoom knobs showing the zoom magnifications settings: 8, 16, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50,...

Re: Looking for Leica Wild M10 user/service manual

I played more with Acrobat and got the file size to 5.53 MB. This is still too big so I split the file into 5 parts with Acrobat.

Re: Looking for Leica Wild M10 user/service manual

I tinkered with my Adobe Acrobat Pro settings and with maximum compression I was able to get it down to 23 MB. I downloaded and installed Mass Image Compressor and compressed the jpgs that I originally scanned to 70% quality. I then went back to Acrobat Pro and created another PDF with the 70% quali...

Re: Looking for Leica Wild M10 user/service manual

Hello! Wow! I'm jealous. I use one everyday at work but I am in a quest to find one for home that I can afford. I scanned the user manual and converted it to PDF format but the file size is 148 MB. I need to find a way to reduce the file size so that I could send it to you easily if you are interest...
